we were eventually going to need a QB and now we have one who can spend some quality time learning under one of the masters for at least a season. don't be so quick to dismiss Rodgers. it's a unpredictable game.

let's not forget guys Brett isn't going to be an ideal "teacher." he's a risk taker and he can be he's got the touch, the cannon, and the drive to be a risk taker and you don't find that combination.

it's just such a waste of a pick to take rodgers. he's just gonna sit on our bench and collect a check for the next 2-4 years while Favre continues his ways. then he'll probably end up playing somewhere else like all the others. however if we'd taken a chance on one of the cody's, poole, hell crowder, we could have put them in on defense this coming year and they would have been fresh new bodies at least who play and don't waste our cap room. thats what rodgers is unless he plays this year wasted cap room and i'd imagine he'll waste a lot or we'll have to trade(can you trade a unsigned player you drafted?) or cut him and then he's pretty much just a wasted pick completely cause it would seem TT has no idea what he's doing.

I was against the pick until I heard his interview with Suzie.I think he may turn into a Thurman Thomas type pick to where he is gonna be PISSED that everyone passed him up and works twice as hard to make them all pay.That could be a good thing in a couple years after he learns the system.We will have to see.And who knows...maybe one or more of those D guys will still be around at 51..no one had Rodgers falling anywhere near us.

yeah in 3 yrs after maybe a couple 7 or 8 win seasons when puts up career numbers. he comes in and does well but the way we draft and do FA he won't be around that long. besides are we even gonna be able to sign him as well as our other draftees and then there's FA which is gonna have to be where we improve our Defense. i mean come on look at this from this coming seasons point of view._________________

Although the need for defensive help was great, they couldn't pass up the value that Rogers brings. Here is a projected Top 5 pick that slides to #24. Green Bay pulled the trigger because Favre's certain retirement looms on the horizon.

It's better to risk a need now for a need later. If/when Brett retires, Green Bay may not be in a position to land a franchise QB in the draft who was projected to go so soon. He may not pan out, but they had to take the chance.

I can't believe Arizona, Washington, or Tampa Bay didn't take a chance on him.

Green Bay will get a QB who won't cost much being at pick #24.....had Rogers been taken where he was projected to go, he would have been mega rich.

and to an extent i certainly agree but when everybody was telling us from the outside looking in we should mail it in" why did favre come back "we looked at this draft as a way to replenish our defense; and now we can look at some more projects in the second day maybe one who dropped from the third round but we are not satisfied with these selections
we expect more_________________Colts draft picks:
Rd1:29 Phillip Dorsett WR Miami
Rd3:65 D'Joun Smith CB Florida Atl
Rd3:93 Henry Anderson DE Stan
Rd4:109 Clayton Geathers S Cent Flor
Rd5:151 David Parry NT Stan
Rd 6 HB Josh Robinson, ILB Amarlo Herrera
Rd 7 OT Denzelle Goode

I dug this up on the forum just had to let everyone see it! How everyone reacted when we drafted Rodgers a Super Bowl victory now with him I'm sure has changed some opinions on this pick. Lol_________________
